Jairus Byrd makes Bush completely expendable. Byrd can be the single high safety while Vaccaro covers TE's or slot receivers. I think we used a lot of three safety looks last season because Rob Ryan did a terrific job of utilizing what he had. With the Byrd signing and the talk of simplifying Vaccaro's role it looks like we'll have a much more traditional secondary.

I'll be the first to say that I wanted Bush to stay in the black and gold for 2014. He has played well under Rob's tutelage & is not afraid to bring the wood... down right nasty as times. We can never have enough dawgs on D. With the recent release of Decoud, Bush will get his chance to shine as a starter.

If we lose him to the dirty birds, oh well I think we are still in good hands with KV, Byrd and Ball.
